Hi everybody,

I'm stuck with a problem. We have a 1-page template that has 80 costum
labels on it. I wrote a macro in VB that will fill in the info as needed. I
am trying to create a continues number scheme based on the user imput. The
VB script works fine for the first page but if the user needs more than 80
numbers I can't find a way to add a second page. When I issue a wdPageBreak
it's just an empty space without the labels.

Can anybody tell me what I need to do to get a second, third, etc page with
the labels?

Thanks for your help
Claus

Below is the code that I'm using

Dim Client As String
Dim stNum As Integer
Dim test As String
Dim pages As Integer



Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Client = InputBox("Please enter Client name")
stNum = CInt(InputBox("Please enter 1st client file number"))
pages = CInt(InputBox("Please enter the number of pages"))
Client = Client + "-"


Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory

i = stNum
While pages 0
While i stNum + 80
If i 10 Then test = "00000"
If i 10 And i 100 Then test = "0000"
If i 100 And i 1000 Then test = "000"
If i 1000 And i 10000 Then test = "00"
If i 999999 Then test = "0"
Selection.TypeText Text:=Client + test
Selection.TypeText Text:=CStr(i)
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2
i = i + 1

Wend
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
pages = pages - 1
Wend


End Sub

The usual way to create multiple sheets of labels is with a mail merge.

One option:
Forget about your macro.

Create a list in Excel numbered 1-80 (plus whatever your custom data is).
Use that as the data source for the mail merge.

Can you edit the template? If you can, do a SelectAll to highlight the 80
labels, hit copy, then put a page break in so you are on the second page and
paste in the 80 labels again, you can create as many pages of the same label
as you want. I know this is primitive, but it does work. Hope it will help.

I would have to be able to do this within the VB Script. Any idea how I can

I don't see how this would work. The user is asked to enter the client ID,
the starting number and the number of pages ( or alternately the ending
number). This can be from 189 to 833 or any other combination. If the user
needs 800 continues numbers the script would have to create 10 pages.

Basically I'm looking for a script methode to create additional pages on the
fly with those 80 labels on it.

You should go ask in a newsgroup with Programming or VBA in the name, as

Hi Cjobes,

Assuming this is NOT mail merge (can't be sure from the discussion)...

Insert a SEQ field in each label on the page. In the very first one, add the
\r switch so that you can set the starting number. Your script can either
edit this number in the field code. Or you can set the starting number in a
custom document property and embed a DocProperty field code into the SEQ
field code.

Cindy,

Thanks for answering. Here is a quick sum of what I have and what I'm trying
to do:

I have a one-page document with 80 boxes. I added the following code (see
below) to it and then made it a DOT file. What I would like to get to is
giving the user a chance of putting not only the starting number but also
the ending number into a third box. I would then change the code to call a
second, third, fourth page after each 80 numbers. What I'm looking for is
help how to add as many pages in the code as needed with those 80 boxes.
When I issue a wdPageBreak only a blank page comes up. I'm a DB and App guy
and haven't work much with Word automation.

Here is the code again:

Dim Client As String
Dim stNum As Integer
Dim test As String
Dim pages As Integer

Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Client = InputBox("Please enter Client name")
stNum = CInt(InputBox("Please enter 1st client file number"))
pages = CInt(InputBox("Please enter the number of pages"))
Client = Client + "-"


Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory

i = stNum
While pages 0
While i stNum + 80
If i 10 Then test = "00000"
If i 10 And i 100 Then test = "0000"
If i 100 And i 1000 Then test = "000"
If i 1000 And i 10000 Then test = "00"
If i 999999 Then test = "0"
Selection.TypeText Text:=Client + test
Selection.TypeText Text:=CStr(i)
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2
i = i + 1

Wend
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
pages = pages - 1
Wend


End Sub

Thanks for your help.

Hi Cjobes,

What I'm looking for is
help how to add as many pages in the code as needed with those 80 boxes.
When I issue a wdPageBreak only a blank page comes up. I'm a DB and App guy
and haven't work much with Word automation.

So, I figure you have no problems calculating how many additional pages you
need :-)? Just subtract the start number from the end number, then divide by
80; and then the result minus one...

Have you done some experimenting, manually, to determine if you get a
desirable result if you, for example, insert a manual page break, copy the
table (labels) and paste on a new page? Or does simply copying/pasting the
label sheet at the end of the first set of labels generate what you need?

Anyway, as soon as you determine the best way...

Select the current page of labels and create an AutoText entry from them. The
AutoText needs to be saved in a template. All you need to do in your code,
then, is insert the AutoText (and any required page break kind of thing) in a
loop as many times as you need additional pages. This is much more reliable
than trying to copy/paste in the code.

And I still advise you to insert the SEQ field into the label pages, so that
you don't need to worry about doing the numbering in your code.

Thanks Cindy (Dankeschoen)

I will experiment with this a bit further. I visited your site and had a
look at the SEQ stuff. When you look at my code you will see that the
numbering has to be in a certain way. It always has to be 6 ditgets with the
right number of leading 0s. This is very easy to do in the code and I get
away with a single field.

Where my problem starts is generating those additional pages on the fly and
moving the curser to the right place. I don't know the code for "select
all" - "copy" - "page break" -"paste" etc and to assure that the page after
the page break has the same margin set. Given that I don't do bobbin-lace I
will spend some time over the weekend to play with it and see if I find
something on your site to help.

Thanks again for answering...

1. Please do experiement manually, along the lines I suggested.

2. Copy/paste is never a good idea, if there's an alternative. If an AutoText
entry won't work for some reason, then the better approach is to use
.Range.FormattedText to bring the table into the new position

3. Cursor position shouldn't matter; you should avoid working with the
Selection object. Use Range, instead. Here's a bit of pseudocode (meaning
it's off the top of my head) that illustrates how you'd "copy" the first
table in a document to the very end of the document:

Dim rngTable as Word.Range
Dim rngTarget as Word.Range

Set rngTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Range
Set rngTarget = ActiveDocument.Range
rngTarget.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
rngTarget.FormattedText = rngTable.FormattedText

Thanks, that worked like a charme. I added some code to calculate how many
pages are needed, run a loop to create them and then insert the numbers.

Thanks for your code sample. It worked great. I added a counter and now the
code generates exactly the right number of pages and inserts the text into
the boxes.

the page break has the same margin set. Given that I don't do
bobbin-lace I
will spend some time over the weekend to play with it and see if I find
something on your site to help.

1. Please do experiement manually, along the lines I suggested.

2. Copy/paste is never a good idea, if there's an alternative. If an
AutoText
entry won't work for some reason, then the better approach is to use
Range.FormattedText to bring the table into the new position

3. Cursor position shouldn't matter; you should avoid working with the
Selection object. Use Range, instead. Here's a bit of pseudocode (meaning
it's off the top of my head) that illustrates how you'd "copy" the first
table in a document to the very end of the document:

Dim rngTable as Word.Range
Dim rngTarget as Word.Range

Set rngTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Range
Set rngTarget = ActiveDocument.Range
rngTarget.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
rngTarget.FormattedText = rngTable.FormattedText

Hi Claus,

Thanks for your code sample. It worked great. I added a counter and now the
code generates exactly the right number of pages and inserts the text into
the boxes.

Glad you're finally up and running :-)
